desk

On-Yomi: キ — Kun-Yomi: つくえ

Elements:

desk, tree, wood, wind

Heisig story:

We need to fix imagination here on two things to learn the kanji for desk: the wonderful rough wood of which it has been hewn and the wind that blows across it, sending your papers flying all over the room. These two elements, written in that order, dictate how to write the character.

Koohii stories:

1) [Kieron] 3-4-2007(170): My wooden desk is so messy, it looks like a strong wind blew my things all over it.

2) [Elphalpo] 19-1-2008(101): Whenever I'm alone at my computer desk, I'm always getting wood and breaking wind.

3) [shimouma] 23-3-2008(40): The tree was blown down by the wind - so I made a desk from it.

4) [Danieru] 15-11-2007(18): Studying at my wooden desk, a great wind sweeps away all my papers - there goes all my hard work - I can see all the kanji disappearing into the sky.

5) [trikatu] 3-10-2006(8): A tree blown over in the wind makes a desk.
